Like all hadrons, neutrons are made of quarks. A neutron is made of two down quarks and one up quark. One up quark has a charge of +2/3, and the two down quarks each have a charge of -1/3. The fact that these charges cancel out is why neutrons have a neutral (0) charge. Quarks are held together by gluons.
A proton is a positively charged particle located in the nucleus of an atom. An electron has $\frac{1}{1836}$ times the mass of a proton, but an equal and opposite negative charge. An elementary charge -- that of a proton or electron -- is approximately equal to 1.6Ã10-19Coulombs. Unlike protons, electrons can move from atom to atom. If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion.
